Allen West Likens Confederate Flag Opposition to ISIS

by Evan McMurry | 11:23 am, June 30th, 2015

Former congressman Allen West (R-FL) told a conservative radio show last week that the “left’s” attempt to literally bring down the Confederate battle flag was consonant with ISIS’ wholesale destruction of Syria and Iraq’s cultural artifacts.

“There is a seeming collusion between liberal progressive socialists and Islamofascists,” West said on “Sandy Rios in the Morning.”

“The Taliban destroyed the shrines and the statues of Bamyan provinces; ISIS has gone around destroying the artifacts there and religious shrines and memorials in Mosul and also Palmyra; and now we have the left in the United States of America defacing memorials and part of our history.”

“So there’s a very interesting, I don’t want to say commonality, but it is something to be said about how these individuals want to erase history,” he concluded.

Allen West: Confederate Flag Debate ‘Manufactured Crisis’ to Distract from Chicago Violence

by Evan McMurry | 8:09 am, June 29th, 2015

Former congressman Allen West told Fox & Friends Monday morning that the debate over the Confederate flag that has erupted since Dylann Roof killed nine people in a Charleston church two weeks ago was an artificial controversy drummed up by liberals to distract from black-on-black violence.

West quoted Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s maxim “never let a good crisis go to waste.”

“This is what you see the liberal progressive left doing: taking something and making it a manufactured political crisis to keep people distracted from what is really going on,” West said, though what the liberal progressive right is up to remains a shadowy mystery. “The death of the nine people in Charleston was horrific, but let’s talk about the deaths of all the young men killed in Chicago.”

“We’ve gone from 77% of two-parent households in the black community to 25%,” he added. “That’s what we should be talking about, not about a piece of cloth.”

Rumors that a racially-motivated shooting inside a church, one symbolically endorsed by the state-sanctioned flag in question, is different from urban crime went unconfirmed at press time.
